Shortwave Radiogram weekend schedule, October 14-15

Hello friends,Last weekend, it was fun to try the Thor22 mode.So far, however, I have not seen any examples
(reception was too good!) of the 78-wpm Thor22 mode providing a better decode
than 120-wpm MFSK32. The Thor22 images had more synchronization problems than
the MFSK32 images.

This weekend we will try the Thor 25x4 mode. It’s 1800 Hz wide with a speed of 88 wpm
and a 2-second interleave. Thor 25x4 might work well in difficult reception
conditions. (I think we tried this mode on VOA Radiogram.)

Here is the lineup for Shortwave Radiogram, program 17, 14-15
October 2017, all in MFSK32 except where noted:
